I'm playful and interested learning and experiencing everything I can about this crazy little world of ours. I am attracted to successful, intelligent women and always on the lookout for the next great concert, meal or show.

What I’m doing with my life

Just finished a PhD program and transitioning to life as a professor. Long term, I'm working hard to have one new and beautiful thought.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

I'm a huge fan of nearly all music. Particular favorites include The Roots, D'Angelo, Gomez, Wu-Tang and all the solo projects, Fugazi, and the Ramones

I love to cook and go out to eat. Mexican, Indian, and Italian are at the top of my list. I've recently gotten into Sichuan food. Trying to learn how to cook some of the items in these cuisines.

I wish I didn't, but I like bad movies and trashy television almost as much as critically-acclaimed fare.

Good lines from bad movies. Social science. Where I should travel next? Is the world getting crazier or am I just getting older? What caused the industrial revolution? Is Silicon Valley a permanent feature of our innovation economy and if not where will the next Silicon Valley be?

You should message me if

You are fun, have thoughts about the world (that you don't mind sharing), and care about people.
